This is it- the first picture we saw of Clare. A few days later the adoption agency called to ask us if we wanted to review her file. We said "Yes" and the journey began. We started a long spring and summer of official paperwork that need to be done and sent to China to be logged in. This is known as the dossier.
Since I am the ultimate procrastinator- it was a very big challenge. I had hoped to be done by July 15- but it was not submitted until October 1.
We received word a few weeks later that our dossier was logged in on 10/19/07.
This is when the wait began. Now we wait- and hope things move along as quickly as possible.
